I really enjoyed this recipe and all the different herbs in it. Lovely flavours. Cooked as written except I used fresh oregano & basil instead. I increased the garlic abit also. This was very easy to prepare & tasty. Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to use up some fresh mushrooms, snap peas and zukes. This turned out good. Even 2 of my kids ate it; they wouldn't touch the veggies otherwise, esp. the zukes. I used dried minced onion and left out tomatoes (so kids WOULD eat it!) We like our veggie saute garlicky, so I would add more next time (used 3 cloves) and reduce the basil to 1/4 tsp. Nice way to have veggies.

I made this for dinner last night, along with your Tomato and Basil Topped Halibut and some rice. I'm a veggie-lover anyhow, but this was a nice change of pace. Very quick to make, and very flavorful. I used some fresh basil instead of the dried, and I used halved grape tomatoes in place of the icky pink grocery store tomatoes I had on hand. The family really enjoyed this one as well (they cleaned out the pan!), so I'll definitely be making this one again. Thanks for posting!
